Operating Instructions: ATOM

Two Safety Outputs

Two Safety Inputs

Dual channel OSSD outputs with “low” voltage to indicate the 

safe state.

Must be connected to the next OSSD Device or an external 

evaluation device.

The External Evaluation Device must:

• Monitor both signals are high before it can leave its safe  

  state

• Monitor that both signals are synchronous

• Have a Diagnostic Coverage of at least 99%

Dual channel safety inputs with “low” voltage to indicate the 

safe state

Must be connected to the previous OSSD device or 24V

A fault will be detected if the inputs are not synchronous (see 

timing fault diagram). A full input cycle is needed to clear the 

fault. 

Solenoid Drive Input

Monitor Output

Solenoid Drive input with “high” voltage to activate the 

solenoid.

For Power-to-release (unlock) (PTU) devices the solenoid will 

unlock the device.

For Power-to-lock (PTL) devices the solenoid will lock the 

device.

For Safety-on-Guard-Locking (SOGL) devices the input must 

be driven from a safe and monitored source to be able to 

achieve PLe. 

Control output with “high” voltage to indicate active condition

For Safety-on-Guard-Locking (SOGL) devices the monitor is 

activated when the gate is opened.

For Safety-on-Guard (SOG) devices the monitors is activated 

when the device is unlocked.

Daisy Chain information   

The number of devices that can be wired in series depends on two main criteria:

1.

 Power line voltage drop

2. 

Total Safety Response Time

Voltage Drop

Safety Response Time

Each ATOM Device in series draws current and causes a 

voltage drop on the power line. 

The greater the number of d distance, the grater the 

voltage drop. 

The voltage requirement for ATOM is 24+10%-15%, this 

means the voltage must not drop below 20.4V to ensure 

correct operation. 

A typical application with devices spaced 5m apart, wired with 

22 AWG cable would allow for 4 devices in series. For more 

detailed calculation please see the Voltage Drop Tool on the 

Fortress website. 

The maximum number of devices permitted in series is 8.

Each ATOM Device in series will increase the total safety 

response time of the line.

The maximum safety response time for one device is 200ms.

The increase response time per additional device is 25ms.

The total response time can be calculated using:         

T = 200ms + (n-1)x25ms, where n = the number of ATOM 

devices in the line
